This work explores the psychological theory underlying methods of
intervention in cognitive development. The authors, strive to show
how the practical expression of such methods can lead to long-term
gains in academic achievement in ordinary schools. Within a
discussion of various attempts to "teach thinking", the design,
delivery and results of the "Cognitive Acceleration through Science
Education" (CASE) project are described. Other programmes such as
Feuerstein's "Instrumental Enrichment" are also described, to
abstract the features of successful intervention programmes. Key
implications are also discussed for: teaching methods; the nature
of the curriculum; teacher education; and educational policy at
school, local and national levels. Having established the
distinction between intervention and instruction, the authors go on
to show how a population, and the learning demands made upon it,
can be described in terms of levels of cognitive delvelopment. The
emphasis then turns to how the current profile of thinking in
schools can be changed through constructivist and metacognitive
strategies.
